Mantle hits the facade at Yankee Stadium - Ticket and Scorecard

I've had the pleasure of owning this Pop 1 ticket for about a year now. Just bought the program-scorecard in what was a totally random find.
The game had approximately 9,000-10,000 in attendance. So I thought owning the matching scorecard one day was a far stretch. Luck happens sometimes.

Just wanted to share one of my favorite Mickey Mantle collectibles.

From May 22, 1963. Many articles found online. Mentioned in several Mantle documentaries. A mythical Home Run. Arguably one of Mantle's most famous Home Runs.
Even Mickey himself felt it was a pretty cool hit:

Very cool. Nice to get the matching program. Enjoy.

I have an old book on Yankee Stadium from the 1970's that shows a picture of him with arrows showing where he hit the facade.

Thanks Guys, Skywalker would be neat to see that photo you are talking about. Wonder if it's the image you see frequently online with the dotted lines.
